Dispenser with an improved heater arrangement
A heater arrangement for a volatile material dispenser includes a cylinder defining an opening and a resistor embedded in the cylinder. The dispenser further includes a housing configured to receive a refill containing a volatile material and a wick. The housing includes a first cavity configured to support the heater arrangement. Further, the dispenser is configured such that, when the refill is received within the housing, the opening receives the wick therein so that a radial gap is formed between the heater arrangement and the wick.
Vertical humidifier with stepped evaporator
A vertical humidifier with a stepped evaporator includes a housing. An evaporative water trough is provided inside the housing, and the stepped evaporator is provided in the evaporative water trough. A fan is mounted under the stepped evaporator, and an air inlet end of the fan is communicated with an air inlet of the housing. A water tank is further mounted at the upper portion of the evaporative water trough, the stepped evaporator is mounted around the lower portion of the water tank, and the water tank is further communicated with the evaporative water trough through a water inlet. An air outlet is provided at the upper portion of the housing, and the air outlet is communicated with an air outlet end of the fan. The stepped evaporator is arranged in an airflow channel between the air outlet and the air outlet end of the fan.
DISPENSER WITH AN IMPROVED HEATER ARRANGEMENT
A volatile material dispenser includes a housing that defines a longitudinal axis and is configured to receive a refill containing a volatile material and a wick. The volatile material dispenser also includes a cylinder that includes an inner wall that defines an opening and an interior edge, a resistor embedded in the cylinder, and a heater chassis that includes an inner wall that defines a passage between an upper end and a lower end. The upper end of the heater chassis abuts the interior edge of the cylinder. In addition, the inner wall of the cylinder extends away from the longitudinal axis at a first angle and the inner wall of the heater chassis extends away from the longitudinal axis at a second angle.
Ergonomic scent diffuser
An ergonomic scent diffuser having a first housing with electrical components connected to a second housing having a heating element disposed within. Slidably connected to the second housing is a cap. The cap has depressions adjacent an outer end to provide an ergonomic grip. The cap also has guide rails and retaining members that retain and position a fragrance emitting member over the heating element.
Humidifier
Disclosed herein is a humidifier including an improved structure of a water collection tank. The humidifier includes a main body, a water supply tank provided in an upper portion of the main body, a humidifying fabric arranged in an inside of the main body and disposed below the water supply tank to receive water, a fan configured to move air through the humidifying fabric, a water collection tank configured to collect water from the humidifying fabric, a pump configured to pump water from the water collection tank to the water supply tank, and a humidifier lower cover coupleable to and decoupleable from a lower end of the main body. The water collection tank includes a water collection tank top cover provided in an upper portion of the water collection tank, and a water collection tank lower cover configured to be accessible through the lower end of the main body.
SMART ELECTRIC INCENSE AND PERFUME BURNER
The smart electric incense and perfume burner is a remotely controllable, electrical incense burner controllable via a smart system using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. The burner is in the form of an orb or spherical shell, which may be placed on top of a pedestal having a battery charging circuit. The orb functions separately as a portable, battery-operated, smart electric incense and perfume burner. The orb includes an upper chamber, centrally located at the top of the orb for liquid incense or perfume. The orb also includes a lower chamber with a solid incense heater. The outer surface of the orb has a plurality of vent openings for allowing smoke from the upper and lower chambers to exit the interior of the orb. The vent openings are surrounded by multicolor LEDs and are adapted to receive elongated decorations for display.
DISPENSING DEVICE
A dispensing device for release of a volatile material includes a base, a drive arm coupled to a pendulum based drive mechanism, and a refill coupled to the drive arm. The refill includes a support base, at least one flange, a substrate coupled with the at least one flange, and a use-up cue.
Scent delivery system
A scent delivery assembly that includes a main body portion that defines an interior and includes at least one intake opening and at least one outlet opening, an airflow path that is defined between the intake opening and the outlet opening, a fan positioned along the airflow path, and at least a first cartridge positioned along the airflow path. The first cartridge includes a first cover that is movable between a closed position and an open position and a scent assembly. The scent assembly is not in flow communication with the airflow path when the first cover is in the closed position, and the scent assembly is in flow communication with the airflow path when the first cover is in the open position.
Connected scent device
A scent dispersal device and a network for operating one or more scent dispersal devices are provided. The device can include electronics for operating a heater within the device to cause a scent cartridge within the device to disperse a scent into the surrounding environment. The device can include a top configured to turn the device on/off and control the type, strength and duration of a specific scent from a scent cartridge. The device can be equipped with sensors to identify the type of scent selected and the level of scent substance remaining in a scent cartridge. The device can be configured to interact with other scent devices via a local Wi-Fi network, where the tactile control of one device causes other devices to act in the same manner. The device or devices can further be controlled by and send information to a mobile device via a network.
HUMIDIFYING DEVICE FOR VEHICLE
A humidifying device for a vehicle has a humidity detection part, a blower, a non-water-supply humidifier, and a controller. The humidity detection part detects a humidity in a vehicle compartment. The blower draws, as an intake air, an inside air in the vehicle compartment and an outside air outside the vehicle compartment at a specified ratio and blows the intake air toward the vehicle compartment. The non-water-supply humidifier collects water included in the inside air and supplies a humidified air, which is humidified using the water, toward a specified area in the vehicle compartment. The controller sets the specified ratio between the inside air and the outside air and controls an operation of the non-water-supply humidifier. The controller controls the blower to draw at least the inside air, when the non-water-supply humidifier is operated, and when a humidity in the vehicle compartment is lower than a specified humidity.
